Ok guys. This is my first public cash video. I haven't watched it back. I remember having a good session but feedback would be appreciated.

Enjoy!!

Just about to watch it now.

Errr, PAHUD stats don't show up. You probably need to have flicker free drawing selected cos it doesn't show up with Camtasia I believe.

No worries though I'll continue watching regardless (half the CR vids are like that too, lol).

EDIT: Watched.

Very nice vid, liked the analysis. So the key to half-stacking is run good yes?

What stats (VPIP/PFR) were you running over the course of that vid? You're preflop range seemed very similar to mine for full-stacking and I'm averaging about 19/16 just now.

I liked the style of play, once I'm settled at NL50 I might try a few half-stack shots at NL100 every once in a while. The extra bonus/rakeback does tempt me.

Red Kings is donkerrific! I will definitely have to sign up there soon, I liked the look of the software too (for once, I'm a picky bastard).

As far as the actual play goes, only hand I wasn't too sure about was the QQ after about 10mins when you 3bet, got a call from the button and the flop came down JKA. OOP I just check/fold that, but maybe I'm a wimp I dunno.

Your past problem with tilt reminds me of myself, ALOT! But shouting at the girlfriend?? I'm gonna have to try that, lol.

Good stuff, NL100 vid would be great.

You know you've gotta extract the file using winace or something yeah?

Then it played fine through media player for me.

Ok, looks like this is a recording problem rather than a rendering issue. I have included the fix below (I have yet to test it). Will try sort this for the $100 half stacked video.

there's a setting in camtasia you need to enable to ensure it always records the PAhud layer. open camtasia, go to Tools > Camtasia Recorder. then in the recorder go to Tools > Options and check the box that says "Capture layered windows". as long as this option is checked it'll always record your PAhud stats, even if you use PA's flicker-free drawing option (which is probably what caused the problem for you in this video).

I like a bet here. As the preflop 3better I am almost always cbetting the flop. You even have fold equity here over better hands. Imagine he called preflop with AQ/AT/KQ. I think he can consider folding all 3 of those hands on that flop.

We aren't likely to get bluffed off here, whereas if we check flop and turn and he then bets 1/2 pot what do we do?
Also if does happen to have a hand and raise and sees us fold we get higher chance of getting paid off in future.
